1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Ventricular epicardial mapping and ablations pose a significant risk of multiple complications, such as iatrogenic injuries to the coronary arteries. Case summary: We report a case of acute coronary occlusion during epicardial ventricular tachycardia ablation, detected by ST-segment elevation during the procedure. The multidisciplinary consultation, combined with the use of multimodality imaging, led to the final diagnosis of extrinsic compression caused by a parietal haematoma. This diagnosis guided the decision for conservative management and allowed the team to avoid stent implantation. Discussion: This case report highlights how multidisciplinary consultation and intravascular ultrasound guidance could lead to a conservative balloon angioplasty treatment strategy, avoiding stent implantation.
